Delicious, and the crepes are huge! The towers are $20 (plus optional upgrades) and the scones come with preserves and sweet cream that are absolutely delicious. I love the expansive drink menu. Perfect for brunch

Fun spot for lunch, if a little "fancy" for someone with burger joint sensibilities. The scone on my BLT was a little dry, making it a little more challenging to eat, but it tasted good!
